Yamaha is one of the leaders in digital piano production, and they continue that tradition with the DGX-650. A true ensemble digital piano, the DGX-650 has a variety of interactive features that make learning, playing, and sharing music fun for everyone regardless of skill level. With a full-size 88-note Graded Hammer Standard action keyboard, the DGX-650 not only gives you the authentic feel of playing a piano, it also incorporates Damper Resonance DSP and PureCF sampling that gives this digital version true and accurate sound reproduction of its acoustic counterpart. Add-in a USB audio recorder to instantly capture and share your musical achievements, and the DGX-650 is even better than the real thing.

PureCF-sampled pianoPureCF sampling starts with a meticulous recording of Yamaha's acclaimed CFIIIS 9' concert grand piano. This recording contains a number of dynamic levels from pianissimo to fortissimo, so you can experience the delicate touch of a soft passage or the pure power of two-handed chords.

Damper Resonance DSPDamper Resonance digitally reproduces the sympathetic interaction between strings on acoustic pianos. When the damper pedal is used in a performance, the harmonics of other strings wash over the notes you play until the pedal is released.

88-note, weighted GHS actionA weighted action with heavier touch in the low end and lighter touch in the high end, just like the hammers inside an acoustic piano. Great for the aspiring pianist, practicing on the GHS action builds the proper finger technique for when the time comes to perform on an acoustic piano.

The full-size sound of a Yamaha grand piano, in a compact digital design. Order the DGX-650 today.

Full size keyboard under 1000 d o l l a r s with the most realistic piano sound (on Live Grand setting) I've heard. Much better than competing Casio and Yamaha models. Internal speakers have woofer and tweeter - gives very similar sound to that heard in headphones. Has way more voices than we'll ever use (bought as a piano). Looking forward to connecting to USB to see what can be done with it. Haven't done any recording yet.

Relatively large depth - needed to house the speakers - makes it a tough one to find any sort of a case for. Pedal included is HORRIBLE. Get the Yamaha FC4 at least.

My wife and I purchased this digital piano for our 13 year old son; he has not stopped thanking us and is on it 2-4 hours per day, while on holiday break. Easy set-up and very intuitive - easy to use controls. Very realistic sound and great response from the keys. He plays an upright piano at the studio where he takes lessons and says the Yamaha DGX-650 keys feel the same.

Musician's Friend is my go-to site for music needs. Very professional and helpful sales rep - included better discounts than I could get online from the website and beat prices from other websites/stores.

Fast shipping and very well packed. We also purchased the optional pedal unit.

Made the decision after testing driving this in a local music store and reading great reviews. Great piano feel and sounds. The display is kind of small to easily see the (score) music as it plays (you can view about four measure at a time), but the fact you can slow/pause it really helps. Having to scroll through/between menu's can be a bit cumbersome at times, but overall not bad. Great built-in speakers, very decent bass. LOVE the ability to quickly and easily change tempo, rewind, and A-B loop parts of songs. Great way to help when learning new material. Excellent selection of built-in midi songs to play along with. You can mute any of six tracks. Nice to play additional midi files right from the usb drive.Split and layering fairly easy. Good selection of various styles (rhythms & accompaniments). Shouldn't get bored soon. Didn't care at all for their "style recommender" function because it doesn't seems to be consistent or accurate.Bottom line for me is I'm having so much fun learning new material, stuff that I've never played before. And it just sounds sssooo good when you play along with the songs.There is much to offer here, whether you're just beginning or been playing out.

I couldn't pick up chicks playing the bagpipes, but since I bought the Yamaha DGX-650, I have so many chicks, that I might need to buy a farm! Seriously, this is an excellent investment and instrument...The piano sound is excellent and the options of recording are also excellent...Very very nice!

This digital piano shines! It was easily assembled and all parts fit well. The operation was flawless. Everything worked as it should out of the box. It is a very impressive instrument. It will take a while to get used to, but the results are very rewarding! You may spend more, but you will never get a better instrument than this.

Yamaha does it again. This instrument is pure gold. It is all that a person needs. I owned another Yamaha Digital Piano years back and that instrument was a pure delight to play. That is why I looked to Yamaha, again, when looking for a digital piano. Pure quality; pure sound; pure genius You won't be dissatisfied in owning this piano..

As a singer songwriter, I think Yamaha has another hit on their hands with this keyboard. It offers great flexibility with the true grand piano sound I need. The realist sound for all the sampled instruments is incredible.

This is a great sounding keyboard that is easy to use. The weighted keys are excellent. This is a tremendous upgrade from the beginners keyboard that we had. We bought this as a present for our kids and they love it, and us parents enjoy it as well. Musicians Friend was very helpful on making sure we got this item on time!
